Not Me is the second full-length album by American singer Glenn Medeiros. It was released in September 1988[2] one year after the release of Medeiros' self-titled debut album. Two singles were released to promote the album, each with a promotional music video. The first, "Long and Lasting Love", peaked at No. 68 on the Billboard Hot 100 before the album's release and it also charted in several European countries.
The second single, "Never Get Enough of You", followed in early-1989. This was also released as a 12-inch single, featuring an extended version of the track as well as a radio remix, but it failed to chart. In some international countries, the album includes a version of "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You"; the original single version of the song, which had become a big hit in various European countries in 1988.
